## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability macrolens-inflation-analysis-api-4ef063b7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull MacroLens inflation analysis for the CPI indicator and give me an AI-powered breakdown of what the data is showing right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-synthesized inflation analysis that combines raw FRED and World Bank data with LLM-generated interpretation, rather than just fetching raw economic data. Ideal for agents needing human-readable macro insights rather than raw time-series data, and for workflows requiring on-demand, paid per-call macro intelligence without managing data pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid 'indicator' parameter returns an error
- Unknown or unsupported indicator code may return empty data or an error
- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment results in a 402 Payment Required response
- FRED or World Bank data unavailability may cause upstream failures
- LLM inference timeout could cause delayed or failed responses

## How this service works

AI-powered macro-economic analysis. FRED + World Bank data + MiMo LLM. 20 endpoints. x402 on Base.

## Output

A JSON object with a 'success' boolean and a 'data' object containing AI-interpreted inflation metrics and analysis derived from FRED and World Bank datasets, likely including trend summaries, current readings, and LLM-generated narrative interpretation of the inflation indicator.
